KQED Public Radio's Forum presents California Reading, a radio book club featuring fiction about California and by California authors. Each month, listeners are invited to read a selected book and share their thoughts online and during a special hour of Forum.

From the publisher:
A novel of dreams dying, the loss of power, the rebirth of the spirit, Rabbit Boss is a brilliant fictional evocation of the American West. Powerful and exalting, Rabbit Boss tells the story of four generations of Washo in the California and Nevada Sierra.
